DESTINATION GOLDCOAST
With stunning beaches and metropolitan vibe, there's something for everyone on the glittery Gold Coast!
Swim and surf along the expansive Surfers Paradise beach with this two kilometre stretch of golden sand and rolling surf patrolled by three lifeguard towers, all keeping watch over designated swimming and surfing areas.
Broadbeach - We could start in the surf, with its beautiful beaches, framed by lazy parks home to weekend markets and weekday yoga classes. Or wander down the Broadbeach Mall, peppered with roving street artists and framed by alfresco dining...
Springbrook is just 45 minutes from the beach, and offfers an ancient rainforest along the caldera of an ancient volcano. It’s home to stunning look-outs easily accessible on foot, and to some of the best waterfalls in southern Queensland.
